I love ELO 2 mainly for From The Sun To The World but mostly it's criminally underrated (yep I prefer it to Eldorado although got to say that Mr Blue Sky is total genius whether it be pop or whatever)

^ I prefer Roy Wood's songwriting to Jeff Lynne's; having said that, I pick Eldorado, however, my two picks would be their first 2 releases. Horrible cover on that bottom one! __________________________________ or |

The Move are art pop and spawned the much more interesting ELO. I would have gone there with their 2 highest rated being

I've listened to The Move, but don't have a strong opinion. I was somewhat surprised that none chose from my Cardiacs choices, but I knew it was time to Move on. :)

So, nobody here has heard of The Move or just no love? What's the deal?

^You are in for one Grumpy....Thing Fish! Some parts of Jazz are good, but just don't add up to the whole. I can stomach some synclavier: Civilization, Monkies, Dance.... cannot stomach this one however. To me, he hadn't found that sound on Prevention and Jazz yet. I like (don't love) Thing Fish! The sheer balls and cleverness to come up with something like this could have only come from Frank in the 80s. Too bad it never materialized on Broadway - the budget for this thing was high! It's the ultimate troll/turn off record for the novice, but I like it just for that reason ______________________________________________ or |

I would be surprised if you did not prefer A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window over On Land and in the Sea. I chose that duo partially because they have similar ratings commonly, both came out sequentially at the end of the 80s (1988 and 1989) and I happen to love that line-up with Sarah Smith on sax and William D. Drake on keyboards (and vocals). I do really like Sing to God too which was my fist Cardiacs album, and it was "Dirty Boy" off it, such great, great song, imo, that first really turned me on to Cardiacs. On Land and in the Sea took some time for me to love (not as easy as various other Cardiacs albums for me, and I was already into most of its other albums before getting into it). Two others I really love and think essential are the compilation album Songs for Ships and Irons and the live All That Glitters Is a Mares Nest. As for JT, I almost went with APP -- toss up. I prefer Aqualaung, as well as Stand Up and Benefit to it.
To me it's not about bettering. I see them as different. Differences in line-up, time... And as I said, I was fine with skipping it altogether. To me I see this as about the specific albums rather than the band, so it makes more sense for Richard's new suggestions to be based on the Jethro Tull albums rather than choosing an album that I did not mention. No forgiveness required; no big deal to me either way. As he chose APP, we can count my Cardiacs suggestions as unofficial (but at least good for a little conversation, and I care more about the conversation even if I haven't always the mind or time to engage in such things with any depth or intelligence). Thanks for the thoughtful posts. |

^ I think Logan will forgive you for picking Sing to God, Richard; personally, I only know that one by the band and I cannot imagine anything else by them "bettering" it. Do you want to drop your next contenders?

Cardiacs have 3 very high rated albums on PA but unfortunately the one with the flower on the cover is the one I don't know at all. Sing To God is really good and I would have picked that over On Land And In The Sea personally.
and as far at Tull goes I only really love Aqualung. People say TAAB is amazing but I always feel underwelmed by it. APP is more interesting imo.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ Oh ok, that makes sense. I will let the mods move it if they deem necessary. It's still part of the main forum, right? As long as it stays in the feed, people will view it and thus reply. Yeah, I assume the active user on PA will pick and choose what topics to frequent based on the people who make them and the content. I don't prefer PE for that same reason that some random "niche" thread will pop up and last for days on end - where are the listening and band/artist threads that can spark discussion? Instead, you get "this guy from this band (nobody cares about) releases another book". Seriously?!

^ JFF is "Just For Fun" in internet slang and I was referring to the people who frequent the Just for Fun forum at this board.
^^ And yeah, Jared, there are enough Cardiacs fans here, but not everyone is interested in such topics or posting as regularly as they once did even if they pop in now and then. One notices various posters who are logged in as active users but aren't posting (nor checking a wide variety of topics). That Vangelis one would have stumped me. I know his 70s albums and a fair amount of his post-70s albums. By the way, I don;t post at the forum, but I have noticed that Progressive Ears has a 188 page Cardiacs thread, with a few and especially one very active contributor. I wonder how the most prolific there would fare against the most prolific in the epic Flower Kings thread here at PA's forum in a battle royale? Just a silly thought for the day. |
